> While I believe there is belief that Harvard is accepting C-students over asians A+ students I think the reality is much closer; they are rejecting students with perfect scores and accepting students who scored in the 98th percentile.
You don't need to speculate, the gap is more like 99th vs 93rd percentile:
"Asian-Americans admitted to Harvard earned an average SAT score of 767 across all sections. ... African-American admits an average of 704."
